I did notice that the few recently (past year or so) released movies that I looked up won’t be added to the Disney Plus service for another year or two. It looks like it will take 2 to 3 years after release before they become available. I was hoping to watch the sequel to Mary Poppins and Incredibles 2, but I’ll have a long wait for either.
Over all I think Disney Plus will be a good supplemental streaming service for families with kids young enough to enjoy the content they have, and adults also as far as that goes. But I don’t think there will be much new stuff there which will peak my interests at all, so I already cancelled my trial. This service is basically similar to the older Disney Vault they had on their cable channel way back when, but with much more content from sources like Pixar, NatGeo, etc.

Pretty close to my take. Of course, there is a lot of their more recent movies that I haven't seen. I think the big draw for Disney with those who don't have kids will be the series from the various Star Wars and MC franchises. I've watched a couple of episodes of their new Star Wars series and liked it. They apparently have a number of other series scheduled to start next year. If they are of the same quality, they should be watchable at least. It will also be interesting to see if they add the Fox library to the Disney +, or put them on Hulu. I see the Simpson's listed, so I expect other Fox properties as well. These include shows like House MD, Alley McBeal, 24, and the X-Files.
